Fairfield Circuitry 20% More is a highly specialized active preamplifier and buffer designed to provide a definitive solution to signal loss in long audio paths. Engineered by Fairfield Circuitry in Canada, this minimalist utility offers a fixed, precision gain of +6dB (roughly a 20% increase in perceived voltage). It is an essential accessory for professionals whose rigs suffer from high-end roll-off and dynamic constriction caused by cable capacitance or complex passive switching systems.
Loss Compensation and Structural Signal Boost
In expansive studio and stage setups where signals travel through multiple meters of shielding and numerous patch points, signal attenuation is an unavoidable physics problem. 20% More addresses this at the source. By providing a clean, fixed boost, it re-energizes the instrument signal, ensuring it reaches the amplifier or ADC with its full integrity intact. Unlike standard boosters designed to drive an input into saturation, this circuit is intended for transparent restoration, bringing back the "life" and detail that often gets buried in cable resistance.
Discreet Integration and Tonal Purity
The greatest challenge for tone purists is adding an active component without altering the fundamental sound of their gear. 20% More utilizes an ultra-transparent, low-noise circuit that introduces no harmonic coloration or distortion of its own. Its unique form factor allows it to be integrated directly into the signal path at the earliest possible stage. It acts as an "invisible assistant," making your entire rig sound clearer, faster, and more dynamic without the need for additional control knobs or complex setup routines.
